Abstract

One-stage implant-based breast reconstruction has been recently improved by the introduction of biological [acellular dermal matrix (ADM)] and synthetic meshes. Advantages of ADMs in implant-based breast reconstruction derive from the expansion of the space available for the direct positioning of an implant, but their use could be associated with several complications. Although the majority of complications can be easily managed, mistakes in dealing with the first clinical signs of a potential adverse event can lead to implant loss.
